First time this app is free. Rated 4/5 on iTunes and has a download size of 234MB.
Zombies, Run! 5k Training is an 8-week training program and audio adventure for beginners that’ll improve your fitness so you can run a 5km distance.
We give you clear and detailed instructions about when to walk, jog, run and stretch, building up your confidence and stamina over 25 workouts - combined with a gripping story delivered straight to your headphones.
if you get into it it's quite good it'll play your music for a while when you hit certain distance markers it'll play some audio telling you more about the story …like the zombies may be really close so you need to move quicker. etc.
it's immersive but it needs to be your kind of thing to get anything out of it really. i found it quite fun a few times but gets a bit samey after a few times
"We give you clear and detailed instructions about when to walk, jog, run and stretch, building up your confidence and stamina over 25 workouts"
And soon we'll need instructions on how to eat, sleep and shit.
This app was a massive letdown.
I tried it years ago and thought it sucked. I found it entirely unresponsive to what you were actually doing. You dialed into a fixed story and it played the same regardless of whether you bothered to run or not. I was expecting it to do last minute things like " you see zombies, turn right here instead!" or "you were too slow, the gates were closed and youre sleeping outside town alone tonight". It doesn't.
For free, sure. But if it was paid I'd say "Quick, turn left, buy something else at the App Store instead!"
Ps: when i tried it i was a motivated runner
How far into the storyline does this get you? I downloaded it last year (was free) and I got about 1h in and then it said pay lots of money to continue…
Strange, according to appshopper this is the first time it's free
Free on android
I see. Not sure about android, maybe they had a IAP model for while it was partially free
My guess is that this version will always be free and they give you a little bit like in android and then make you pay to continue. If you look at the in-app purchases, its long and expensive!
@irishjoe: from iTunes
This is a free update for all paid users, so if you previously bought Zombies, Run! 5k Training, just make sure you download it with the same iTunes account you bought it with, and all missions will unlock for free.

Has anyone actually used this app? I've downloaded it two different times and never tried it.
